I have had this 12.5'' 6.5 Grendel sbr in the back of the safe for a couple years with no optic and no job. I finally decided to get an optic and decided to dip my toes into the thermal game so I would have something for night hunting. I went with an AGM rattler v2 ts19-256.
rifle  red fox at 50-60 yards  same fox at 150-170 yards, video also shows some display colors and zoom but I had to trim it for Imgur  |

Sweet!
I love my Rattler. Thermal and digital night vision are damn near unbeatable, though image intensifying has its place. |

I'm not high speed, but it works well for me navigating around out here in the sticks. Being able to discern some colors at night is a huge advantage for me. My brother's looking at getting an Opsin. The Aurora's no top-of-the-line Gen. 3 image intensifying tube, so keep that in mind. However, it does have some other advantages that, in conjunction with thermal, make it very competent. I do like being able to record images and video, which is not something most II tubes are going to be able to do. |

I both the same sight OP. I have been really impressed with ot so far. I've been out a couple of times but have not killed anything yet. I heard some coyotes behind the house the other night and got it out and mounted it on the tripod. I never saw any coyotes, but watched 9 deer who were looking for them also.

I waited way too long to get it but I am very happy to have it now, definitely adds capability to the arsenal. |

Punched some numbers in the ballistic solver, decided 50 yards was going to be my best zero on this rifle for 0-200 yard shots on fox size animals, was able to shoot a little under a .5” group at 50 and hit 4-6” steel plates at 100,150 and 200.
So far im very pleased with the set up. |

Nice set up.
I have the TS25-256. Have shot a few hogs with it, works very well. I've put it on my sons .350 Legend AR15 and my 7.62x39 AR15. Thermal is definitely a game changer at night. Shot this one walking in to where I was going to set up for the night.
